Etihad Airways new schedule provides more choice to and from South Africa

Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), today announced changes to its schedule between Abu Dhabi and Johannesburg, effective 26 October 2014.

The
change in the flight schedule, with new daily departure options from Abu Dhabi
to Johannesburg and vice versa, will provide travellers in either direction
with improved opportunities to connect onwards to regional networks across
Africa, and internationally beyond the airline’s hub in Abu Dhabi.

Xenia
Adamou, Etihad Airways’ General Manager, South Africa, said: “The new schedule means
that we are now able to provide daily departures, ensuring that our business
and leisure travellers benefit from greater connectivity and flexibility when
flying between South Africa and the UAE.”

The new schedule will
also provide passengers with a significant increase in weekly connections
between Johannesburg and a number of key Asian business and leisure
destinations on the airline’s fast growing global network, including Chengdu (China),
Singapore and Phuket (Thailand).
